I received a Master's degree (2015) in Mathematics from the University of Bonn. My PhD studies (2020) at the Institute of Mathematics and Image Computing (MIC) of the University of Lübeck were concerned with convex relaxation methods for variational image processing techniques with applications in medical imaging.

Since I joined PIK in November 2019, I do event-based modeling of global socio-economic impacts of climate change. My main focus is on the physics and socio-economics of tropical cyclone hazards, including wind, storm surge and extreme rainfall, and including all affected world regions.

  • Economics of climate change: event-based modeling of global socio-economic (and long-term) impacts of natural disasters under climate change.
  • Focus on tropical cyclone sub-hazards: wind, surge, rain, with a focus on models that run on a global and long-term scale.
  • Impacts of tropical cyclones on macroeconomics (e.g. GDP growth), infrastructure (e.g. power grid), economic assets, households, and income distribution.
